Just 2 minutes each day can change your family meal time for a lifetime.

A Spoonful of Grace is a collection of 366 evening meal graces taken from all 66 books of the Bible and designed to provide meaningful exposure to prayer and the Bible at a most opportune time: the family evening meal. ​

The Scripture/grace devotions are inviting, can be grasped at several levels, and are brief enough (about two minutes) to hold the attention of hungry kids. Here’s why:

Each day has an application section called Grace Notes: ideas and quotes to further illustrate the message and stimulate conversation.

Sundays are for Story Graces. These 52 devotions are a bit longer to afford the suspenseful, engrossing reading of stories such as David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den, and Jonah and the big fish.

Special Graces are celebrations such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays.

Creates curiosity about the Bible and ways in which Scripture can be applied to today’s issues.

Demonstrates how the act of praying together lifts one’s own spirit; fosters praise; and increases mutual feelings of appreciation, gratefulness, and accountability.

Teaches without overt instruction, similar to hiding extra veggies in the spaghetti sauce.

Remind us that our food, as well as God’s countless other daily blessings, is a gift.

As a mother of four children, we’re always running in a million different directions but family dinners is a priority! I just love this idea and how it creates unity and teaches giving thanks at the end of each day. Great post!
